Adventures from Nowhere

Monday February 26, 2007

Last Wednesday I hit and killed a deer. And I posted about it. Most of you actually thought that I was saddened by the death of the deer, but I was not. I was more saddened by what the deer did to me. To my new shiny car. I got the damage estimated at $4319.39. And more than the damage done, I was wondering why did it happen. A good friend gave me a scripture, and that didn’t help any. All I can say is that it is done, and I can’t worry about why it happened. Questioning why isn’t going to change anything.

Also driving back from getting my car in the first place, down in Santa Ana, I noticed it over-heating. It had no coolant. So on Friday, the mechanic told me that I had no external leaks. I thought that was what happened, since there was a recall on some of the parts of the car, cooling system specific. He told me that I had a head gasket problem, and they needed to be replaced.

Added to the stress of being slightly understaffed at work last week was:

Arranging the time to go to the mechanic’s forty minutes away.

Hitting a deer on my way to the mechanic’s and spending my time wandering around and checking out my car to see if it was drivable.
